“Erica has been great! She keeps me updated, has been reliable and gives Luna the attention she needs during her visits. Even with short notice Erica responded quickly and helped make me my life easier. I love the photos she takes and always asks me permission before she gives Luna treats. If you’re in the area I would highly recommend Erica. She’s experienced, reliable and responsible. Everything I’m looking for in a dog sitter/walker/Furend”


4. Alyssa D.


“Alyssa is wonderful- she has been able to take last minute bookings around holidays and was quick to jump in last minute when we went into labor. Trustworthy, responsive, and dependable! Thanks so much Alyssa for all that you do!”


5. Tallyn S.

“Tallon did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were away! I will call her again when we need a sitter! She sent pics and let me know each time she visited. Thank you Tallyn!”


6. Sydney S.

“Sydney took great care of our cat and a litter of foster kittens/mama while we traveled for the holidays. She sent lots of pictures and followed all instructions I left and I could tell they were all happy to spend time with her. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”


7. Tom V.

“Tom is super dependable. He is flexible, willing to work with you and your needs. You can count on him being consistent . He is not intimidated by any dog issues. Great friendly guy .”


8. Shannon B.
“Shannon is the ultimate animal lover! She cares and loves your animals as if they were her own. She has dog sat for me for many years and I always feel comfortable and confident that they are well cared for and loved. I know I can relax when I am away from my fur babies. Shannon is mature beyond her years and incredibly reliable. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”


9. Lauren M.
“Lauren did a great job helping out with our pup while we took a day trip! She was flexible and accommodating, and treated/spoke to her so well! Sadly we are moving out of the area in a couple weeks, otherwise I would be a repeat client for sure!”


10. Jamie H.

“This was our first experience with Rover and to say the least, we were quite nervous. Reaching out to Jamie, scheduling a 'meet & greet' before she 'Dropped-In' with Duke, and lastly, the constant communication/updates that she provided had eased our nerves and replaced them with confidence that we had chosen the right person. Jamie had arrived at the agreed-upon time, sent descriptive updates & pictures of our lab, and also went above and beyond to accommodate Dukes/Our needs. Overall, I highly suggest and recommend Jamie to anyone looking to care for your fur-baby while you are away.”


11. Nikki K.
“Nikki has cared for my personal pet for over a year now on weekends when needed and is an amazing loving care giver toward her”


12. Shannon M.


“Shannon is the best! We requested 3 visits a day and she was there like clockwork. Our dog was missing us and not eating very well at first and she took the extra step in encouraging her and got her to eat. Our dog loves her!”


13. Emily C.
About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all kind including veterinary and doggy daycare experience. I’ve loved dogs since a young age and currently study animal science at college. Growing up I frequently watched family and friends pets and have owned a large variety of my own. I’m very active and love going on long walks. I would love to care for your pet and help out! Currently only have 2 classes a day so I have lots of free time to care for your beloved pets! Available morning, afternoon and evening! I would love your pet as my own! I am great at feeding/walking/playing/cuddling and spending quality time with your pet. I will make sure your pet feels loved and safe.

“This was my first time using Rover and Hannah was awesome!!! She was so thoughtful, made sure to play and walk my dog the whole time slot, and”


15. Margaret P.
About: I have experience with pets of all sizes from rats to horses. My goal is to build a trusting and respectful relationship with your pet. I'm confident and will keep both your pet and me safe while focusing on calm and positive experiences for your pet. I'm comfortable with a variety of training ideologies I learned working with shelter dogs of varied physical and behavioral needs. My hope is to tailor any experience to your goals and individual pet's needs. I currently work nights in the medical field and would love to help look after your pets during the day when they could use the enrichment or while you are away. My goal in coming into you and your pets' space is to ensure their routine and feeling of safety is maintained. I am happy to communicate every and all detail of my time with them and have the utmost respect for your space while I am in it.


16. Victoria K.

“Another stress free getaway thanks to the great care Victoria provides my 2 cats. I can tell from the wonderful pictures they are cared for and happy. When I get home it's like I never left.”


17. Abby D.

“Abby did a fabulous job checking on my cat while I was out of town. Somehow she also managed to get some pretty cute pictures of him as well.”


18. Laura S.
“Laura has owned and cared for dogs most of her life. She has fostered multiple dogs through a local organization, and she loves each dog as if it were her own. She enjoys taking her fosters on walking adventures, and is great about taking photos. I would highly recommend Laura to be part of the Rover family. Barbara S.”


19. Andrea G.
“Andrea is a lover of all dogs. For 9 years, she has been my go-to sitter for both short term needs and longer term/overnight sitting. She is a nurse which allows her a flexible schedule, but that is also the reason she does not have a dog herself: as she does not feel it would be fair to have one when she is gone for 12 hours 3 days a week. She never hesitates to help me on her days off, and I trust her completely as she grew up with many family dogs. She is always there to help me or our other friends and their fur babies!”


20. Jessica L.
“Jessica is an exceptional pet sitter! She’s incredibly reliable and always shows up on time, which gives me great peace of mind while I am away. Her communication is excellent, she kept me updated regularly with messages and photos. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.”
